Awesome festival in Tsukiji, Tokyo. They were inviting everybody to dance and go back to traditional Japan! No Yukata required. The obasans (older ladies) looked amazing doing the traditional dance, they knew all of them and performed stunningly.

People dipping their hands in paint to support the affected areas from the recent natural disasters in Japan.

I regret taking so few pictures of this day, but as you might conclude, after taking a few pictures of the food they were offering on the street I could not resist but to splurge in delicious greasy food! After that I did not want to touch my camera :/

Closed down streets for the festival.

Great food.

Delicious chocolate covered bananas. They were quite warm but delicious none the less.

Fun toys. They were selling the most random things but as a kit I would have gone crazy. I remember going home with a new toy and dipping it in water was an entirely new experiment. As a side note, I remember as a little kid submerging Nintendo (NES) cassettes in water and using pure alcohol to clean them after frustrating attempts to make them work, especially Mario Bros and other classics such as Marble Madness.
